The Aims and Duties Of Journalist.

The Supreme Court of Louisiana re-
Gently rendered decision in news
paper case in which the following wise
observations were made upon the duty
and province of the newspaper:
"Surely newspapers have some OBJ
ject higher than mere money making.
As operated in modern times they are
something more than mere advertising
mediums, or even purveyors of news.
They are organs of public opinion, in
struotors of the people, advocates of
certain fixed policies and principles,
the promotion of which must crafty
the intellectual ana moral desires of
their proprietors, even if they do not
in all cases advance their peouniary in-
terests. We might we'll conceive that,
though offered ample pecuniary induce
ments to advocate principles or causes
which they disbelieve, or to abstain
from advocating those which they ap-
prove, worthy journalists would reject
such propositions with the scorn which
they deserve.
The National Defender, in COM
menting upon this, very properly says:
"This is the first time within our
knowledge that court of law has ven
tured to define the proper aims and du-
ties of the journalist. The opinion is
sound and it shows that the jud dges
have a much higher and nobler con
ception of the power and influence of
journalism than very many who are
engaged in that profession

Samantha at Saratoga"
BY JOSIAH ALIENS WIFE.

One of the most prominent person.
ages of the literary world just now is
Miss Marietta Holley, popularity known
as Samantha Allen, or Josiah Aliens
wife. She became favorite very
early in her literary career, and each
new issue from her pen has added to
her fame, until, for her latest work,
Samantha at Saratoga" Meesrs. Hub
bard Brothers paid her princely sum
and the book is decidedly a hit. 1t
will doubtless outsell her previous is
sues, as it unquestionably outshines
them all in the fascinating vein Of
humor in which Miss Holley is SO hap
py and go rich.
Preparing for this work, Miss Holley
went to Saratoga and spent an entire
season, with eyes and ears open, and
with brain and pencil vigorously at
work. She went'i her famous as
sumed role of Josiah Aliens wife, her
imaginary Josiah at her side, with his
characteristic blunders, .fnus pas, and
quick, boylike enthusiasm. AS Saman-
tha Allen, Miss Holley is observant,
unsophisticated, outspoken, and sound
to the core on every question of pro-
priety. Such couple in the whirl of
Saratoga would certainly develop many
remarkable situations and utter many
funny comments. 1t is here the humor
of the book arises. Plain, back -coun-
try, village life, and gay artificial Sara
toga are 80 wide apart, that each side
becomes ludicrous to the other. These
ludicrous, laugh provoking contrasts
are the dominant features of Miss Hol-
ley's book.
To these mlrth- making presentations
of the author the artists pencil has ad-
ded rich entertainment. Over a
hundred drawings have been made
especially to illustrate the text by
Frederick Opper, the leading artist Of
Puck. Burt Wilder, too, has done a
share in embellishing this attractive
book. These artists make their pict-
urcs talk, and between the text and the
talk of the pictures the reader looks
and laughs and laughs and looks again.
Altogether the book .s rare product,
and its purchasers will not be dis
appointed. Published by Hubbard
Brothers, Philadelphia.

Four Mon Killed
FALL OF 65 FEET WITH A BROKEN
sCAFF0I.D.


WrLLrAMspoRr, Aug. 31.-Six men
were working this forenoon on scat
fold inside tower of the Aununciation
Catholic church in course of erection
here. The scaffold was composed of
four timbers, fitting into the masonry
at the ends and covered with boards.
Raphael Buck. John Raible, John Win.
ner and Charles Moburg, and John
Frederick and ID. X. Heberling, helpers,
were the men on the scaffold. At
about ten o'clock Mobnrg wheeled a
barrow of stone upon the scaffold, and
when he dumped the barrow the tim
bers broke and the scaffold fell. The
distance to the bottom of the tower
was 65 feet. Moburg struck on his
head and was picked up dead. He
was twenty-one years old and not mar
ried. Buck died within ten minutes.
He leaves family. Raible was inn
paled on sharp stone. He died after
being taken to the hospital. He was
twenty-six years old and leaves wife
and child. Winner also died in the
hospital. He was about forty years
old. Tho foreman of the masons is
John Axman and he was working un-
der Gottlieb Waltz, of this city.
Father Carney, of the church, was on
the scaffold few minutes before it fell.
A remarkable feature of the accident
is the experience of Frederick and
Heberling, the helpers. Frederick had
just loaded some stone and had one
foot outside of the tower and one on
the scaffolding when the structure fell.
He grasped at board overhead, threw
himself backward and thus saved his
life. Heberling escaped the fate of bis
companions by grabbing at the wall.
His hands touched the top of the un-
completed tower, and he was able to
raise him self up and crawl out upon
the roof of the church. Frederick
says that as the men fell they shrieked
"Oh y oh! Three workmen were
engaged in the windows at the base of
the tower when the scaffold fell. They
saved their lives by jumping out on
the Fourth street pavement. One of
them, boy, received slight wound.
John Axman, the foreman, had a mar
row escape. He stepped off the scat
fold but moment before it fell.

Marriage Customs in Southern Siberia.

There is one thing rarely omitted
from female custom, which is a silver
amulet hanging on the breast, in the
form of kernel, cylinder or triangle,
containing Muhammadan writing or
perhaps prayer, and given by the hus-
bond at the time of marriage. The
various circumstances connected with
marriage among the Kirghese remind
one strongly of patriarchial times.
Fifteen is the manageable age, and
preliminiaries are commenced by the
parents Of the bridegroom sending a
deputation of match makers to the par
ents of the bride, Offering presents,
and among them dish specially pre-
pared for the occasion of liver and NUT
ton fat, which signifies that they mean
matrimony. After this the compliment
is returned by presents and a similar
dish sent by the girls parents to those
of the bridegroom. The brides father
then summons meeting of kinsmen
to consider the kalin,, or gross amount
to be paid for the bride. The kalim
may consist of forty, sixty or one hun.
dred sheep, or from nine to forty seven
head of cattle, besides which kalim
the bridegroom has to give at least two
presents of camels, horses, cows, fire.
arms, or khaSats. These things decid-
ed, the brides father sends to the
bridegroom's as1 for the kalins and
one of the presents, after which the
bridegroom takes the other present
and goes to see the bride for the first
time. Not that he can easily change
his mind when things have gone thus
far, for the delivery of his present vir-
tually seals the marriage contract, and
he is 80 firmly betrothed that should he
die before the time of marriage the in
tended wife has to go home to his par
ents and be taken for the wife of the
next son. Vice versa, if during the
period of betrothal the girl should die,
her parents are bound to give instead
their next daughter, or in default of
one, to return the kalina and pay fine.
When the period of betrothal is at
an end the bridegroom goes to the all
of his bride, who is given up by her
parents, with dowry of tent, a
camel or riding horse, cattle and a
brides head dress, besides bed, crock
cry, and trunk of wearing apparel.
On the wedding night the mullah, or
priest, places the bride and bridegroom
in the midst of a tent, puts before
them covered cup of water, and be-
gins the prayers. Then he asks the
contracting parties if it is with their
full consent they engage themselves to
be married, and three times gives them
the water to drink. Mullahs sometimes
put in the water vessel an arrow with
tuft of hair tied thereto from the
name of the brides horse, or one of
her ribbons; others dip therein a paper
of written prayers. The happy COM
pletion of marriage is followed
among the Kirghese by feasting and
games, and then the newly married
depart to the bridegroom's aul, with
the camels carrying the trousseau, and
the portion of his wealh which faith
er gives to each of his dau ghters on
her marriage. -DR. HENRY LANsDELI,
in Harper's Magazine for September.

A Calf With a Human Head.

A few days since gentleman near
Boswel's Depot, on the Richmond and
Allegheny railroad, missed COW. He
searched for her and when he found
her she had given birth to what should
have been calf, and yet, with all
other formations of such, from the
shoulder out, was to be seen the neck
and head of woman with all the sym
metry thereof, aud, furthermore, the
hair on this strange head was parted or
had gracefully fallen back on each side,
as ladies usually part theirs. The nose,
eyes and other features of its face were
clearly and beautifully developed as that
of a woman's. In a word, from the
shoulder out, was human in form and
the body that of beast. The truth
of this statement can be verified by
gentlemen of veracity. = Richmond

Babies.
A DOZEN AND ONE sUPERsTITIoNs ABOUT
THE LITTLE TOTS OF HUMANITY.

Receiving the card of little stran-
ger who had arrived at the home of a
friend few weeks before, we hastened
at once to bear our greeting gift and
congratulations, and were about enter
ing baby's reception room when we
were met by the head nurse, a good,
comfortable looking Scotch woman, who
would on no account allow US to come
in without fret removing our gloves
and wells.
''Surely the bonnie bit laddie would
ma hae look at a." she said, as she
watched us divest ourselves of the OBJ
jectionable articles; "and now you
maun a max guld wish for bath soul
and body when you tax him in your
arms"
We willingly complied with this re-
quest, and delighted her beyond all
reason by accidentally giving the child
his full name as he opened his eyes and
gazed into vacancy, although apparently
at us.
'1ndeed, mistress, he is sure to be
credit to his father and the kirk, forby
the guild look that maun follow a child
that answers sac readily to his name !"
In many parts of both England and
Scotland at the present time new
baby is presented with an egg, which
represents both meat and drink, salt,
which savors everything, bread, the
staff of life, matches to light it through
the world,and coin, that it may never
want money.
1t is thought to be very lucky for a
child to cry at baptism.
Be sure and let the baby have or
touch the thing that he starts after
when he takes his first step, even if it
is the moon--he must be let touch
something high, on which its light
shines--and then he will always get
his wishes.
He should be taken into the sunlight
first ON Sabbath day. put into short
clothes, and in fact all changes made
upon that day.
And 30 on, all through our dsrling's
cradle life are such fancies talked
about, believed, and often practiced by
those who rock the cradle; and what
harm can it do to believe that when
our baby smiles in his sleep he is talk
ing with angels, or that when we see a
shooting-star some baby's soul is on its
way to this earth

EXPOSING HENRY GEORGES FAL-
LAcIES

Henry George bases his chief complaint
against society, on the ground, assumed to
be true, that despite The increased pro-
ductive power of labor, wages have de-
clined to minimum, affordhg the worker
only a bare living. (By the way, Mr..
George, as an agitator, began poor, and has
somehow grown rich.) As matter of
fact, the statement Is devoid of truth. like
many an other assumption of radical labor
asitators. The truth IS, as Mr.. Ohren, in
4 recent monograph in the Current, pointed
out, that the wage earner's reward has
really increased, and has advanced by
greater percentage than the cost of living.
The evidences are. first, that the savings
OF workingmen in bank have steadily in
creased per capita for a number Of wears.
In 1900, common laborers received from SO
to 81 cents day, the average being 81
cents. For agricultural laborers the rate
was from 33 to l04 cents; carpenters. %;
shoeDakers, %; painters, Sc. The work
tAS hoOiS NSAS 4Ohef INC ltVti-SstNlllS ap-
pliances few, the pay slow, and often in
truck But while in 1914 there were
only 80 companies in Massachusetts to
work textile fabrics, by 1929 there were
zS5, and labor was constantly in demand.
A significant fact is that proven by statis-
tics, that workmen in Massachusetts, alone
save now annually S250,000,0O0. In 1920
the savings we're but nominal. In 1880
the average wage OF the agricultural
la5orer had risen to so cents, and between
lsSo and 1860 there was further advance
of - per cent, while the supplies of life
advanced but Is per cent.
Tue Labor Bureau stat:stician for Mas
sachuset;s shows that between 1860 and
1878 there was an advance of wages of 241
per cent, while the cost of living advanced
but AZ per cent. Edward Atkinson has
shown, BY examination Of the statistics of
the same Bureau, that in 1850 the average
workman received 81 6S per day in gold,
and in 1885 81 OF in geld The workman
of superior skin received in 1860 81 81,
and in 1885 50. The purchasing power of

Cakes without Eggs.

In a little book Just published by the
Juison Printing Co., New York, large
number of practical, though novel, receipts
are given for making cakes of various
kinds, from the informal griddle-cake to
the stately bride-cake, without eggs. by the
use of the Royal Baking Powder Expert
enced housekeepers inform us that this
custom has already obtained large prece-
dence over old-fashioned methods in eco
nomical kitchens, and that the product is
frequently superior to that where eggs are
used, and that less butter is also required
for shortening purposes. The advantage
is not alone in the saving effected. but in
the avoidance of the trouble attendant upon
securing fresh eggs, and the annoyance of
an occasional cake spoiled by the accidental
introduction of an egg that has reached a
little too near the incubatory period The
Royal Baking Powder also invariably in
sures perfectly light. sweet and handsome
cake, or when used for griddle-cakes to be
eaten hot enables their production in the
shortest possible space of time and makes
them most tender and delicious, as well rs
entirely wholesome. There is no other
